SOME HINTS ON OBCHARPS. 
Every farm that is made the home of a 
family should have on it a good orchard. If in 
a favored fruit growing district it will become 
one of the chief sources of profit. The incomes 
derived from good orchards during the past 
Jew years, will be sufficient stimulna to future 
planting, where there is a reasonable hope of 
success. Many will determine this winter to 
plant in the spring, but before a tree ia set out 
they should consider well 6 ome «f the chief 
points which will materially affect their future 
profits. 
The space between the trees should be deter¬ 
mined by the system chosen for future cultiva¬ 
tion—whether the planter resolves to devote 
the ground wholly to the orchard, or intends to 
Include the field in the ordinary farm rotation, 
and grow therein grains, grasses, roots, Ac. If 
the land is to be given up wholly to the orchard, 
twenty-live to thirty feet apart each way will be 
enough for apple trees; If it is to be cultivated 
with other crops, forty to fifty feet space be¬ 
tween the trees should be given. 
Devoting the land wholly to the orchard seems 
to be the best method for the following reasons. 
If included in the ordinary farm rotations the 
soil will be subjected to the double burden im¬ 
posed by the crops and trees. To keep up its 
fertility will require more manure than can bo 
spared from the rest or the farm. In the future, 
orchards will be mostly planted on fields long 
cultivated and exhausted of the original fertility. 
Old orchards have been prolific, without much 
manuring, because they were planted and grown 
on land that had not been previously cropped to 
much extent. Hereafter the fruit grow’ers must 
use more manure. 
Cultivation is essential to the rapid aud 
thrifty,growth of an apple tree. But it is not 
•ece 6 sary to plow and hoe the entire area of the 
field in which the young trees are planted. The 
fruit books say that for the first five years the 
ground should be planted with potatoes, beaus, 
or some low crop that maybe hoed; aud not 
laid down to grass. The difference between the 
size of trees thus cultivated, at the end of five 
years, and of those allowed to stand in grass, 
will be greatly in favor of the former. True; 
but it. is tiot the land we wish to cultivate, but 
the tree; it is not potatoes and beans we desire 
to raise, but to fit the soil in such manner that 
hereafter it will give food enough to the tree to 
enable it to raise large crops of apples. The 
fruit books say, likewise, that on a space around 
the trunk of the young tree equal to the spread 
of the top, nothing should be grown : the ground 
should only be hoed, and weeds and grass kept 
down. This, too, is eonnd doctrine. But If the 
surface of the soil through which the roots 
extend is all that the well-being of the tree 
requires to be cultivated, wbat harm to the 
orchard if the rest or the laud is in grass? 
Instead of cropping it and exhausting the fer¬ 
tility, is it not more reasonable to lay it down 
to grass and feed the growth oil with stock or 
let it rot on the ground, so as to enrich it and 
accumulate food for the future wants of the 
trees? Each tree should be tilled like a hill of 
corn. Yearly, as the roots extend, a wider 
space aronnd the trunk should be cultivated. 
It should be spaded and hoed; mulched and 
manured. 
Meanwhile the area in grass would accumulate 
fertility without the use of manure drawn from 
other sources than the field itself. Following 
this method the whole field would he brought 
tmder cultivation when the trees attained to 
proper size, and as good results obtained as 
though more labor and money were expended 
in tilling ground and growing crops that did 
not favor the thrift of the orchard.

SUCCESSFUL GRAPE GROWING IN WIS¬ 
CONSIN. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorker : — Seeing that 
you invite contributions upon Horticulture and 
kindred subjects, I send you the following hast¬ 
ily written description of wbat I saw in the 
vineyard or Mr. Isaac Atwood, Lake Mills, 
Jeff. Co., Wla., and in doing so 1 will include 
that portion of Mr. Atwood’s history, which 
has been connected with the business of grape 
vulture, for the purpose of showing what may 
be accomplished in the way of profitable fruit 
growing by the use of intelligent labor and 
perseverance. 
Some twelve years ago Mr. Atwood, then a 
man of very limited means, conceived the 
idea that, notwithstanding the severity of 
this climate, grapes could be grown here 
profitably and successfully. He accordingly 
secured a piece or hilly, barren ground, 
lying contiguous to the shore or one or the 
most beautiful sheets of water iu the West 
known as Rock Like. He commenced under 
very discouraging circumstances. The soil was 
covered with a dense growth of young oaks and 
blekory, and altogether presented aa uninviting 
aspect. Alter grubbing a small space he la* 
vested .‘>0 cents iu an Isabella vine and commenced 
his career as a viueyurdist. All of his neigh¬ 
bors regarded him ns hall-insane, but believing 
like Cbockett, that he was right, he was bound 
to "go ahead.” Ills success has astonished all 
who knew him, aud the hffiucneo of his example 
can to day be seen iu tho thousands of dollars 
which are being invested in vineyards all over 
the State. 
The amount of land under cultivation is abont 
six acres, all of which has been trenched to the 
depth ot three teet. I visited the vineyard iu 
September, and although 1 had just passed 
through some ol' tho liuest vineyards iu the 
East, the amount of fruit here shown exceeded 
anything 1 had ever seen in that line. I noticed 
that in addition to the burden of fruit, all the ing the apples the eatne way, he fiDda that saw-

I saw layers which were laid the present season, 
and which had attained a surprising growth with 
roots three feet long, while near by were two- 
year old Delawares which had made during the 
past summer a growth of fifteen feet of vine. I

increase in a few years in this branch of Horti¬

VARIOUS ORIGINAL RECIPES. 
How to Settle Coffee. —A common method 
of clearing coffee is by the addition of an egg. 
The white is the only valuable part for the pur¬ 
pose and only a small portion of one is needed 
for au ordinary family. It sbonld be mixed with 
the ground coffee before the water is added. 
Glean egg shells will do very well. When eggs 
are 50 cents a dozen they are not always at 
hand; a bit of codfish, or even a pinch of salt is 
3 very good substitute—and if the coffee is put 
to soaking in a little cold water over night it 
will settle clear without the the addition of any- 
thing. s. vv. a. 
Wine Jelly.— Some time since Mrs. Marion 
Ward inquired, “does any one know how to 
make good wine jelly?” As I have seen no 
answer, please tell her I do, and here is my 
recipe : — One and a half ounces of gelatin dis¬ 
solved in a pint of boiling water; when dissolved, 
add another pint of boiling water, one pint cur¬ 
rant wine, one pint white granulated sugar; 
stir together and strain twice through a flannel 
cloth, into any shaped mold you wish; the jnice 
of a lemon improves it.—E. S. Langwortdy, 
Alexander, X F., 1S65. 
Rasfberf.t Vinegar. — A very sharp and deli- 1 
cate flavored vinegar may be made In this way. 
Take two quarts of raspberries and wash them 
thoroughly in four quarts of warm rain water. 
Strain through a coarse cloth. Add one pound 
of sugar, and let the mixture ferment In a vessel 
to which the air has access. Y’on can make 
vinegar af raspberry wine by adding water to 
reduce it, a little sugar to excite fermentation 
and expose it to the air. It is splendid for the 
table. 
Blanc Mange.—T ake one quart of new milk 
and put in a spider, and wet one cup of flour 
and stir in. Keep constantly stirriDg until it 
boils and then pour in buttered moulds of any 
shape yon wish. Eat when cold with a rich; 
cream, nutmeg etc.

good gingerbread without sour milk or butter¬ 
milk or eggs. Also puddings, baked or steamed.

OUR RECIPE FOR CURING MEAT. 
To one gallon ol water, take 1-^ lbs. of salt, 
half lb. of sugar, halfoz. of saltpetre, halfoz. of 
potash. In this ratio the pickle to be Increased 
to any quantity desired. Let these be boiled 
together until all the dirt from the sugar rises 
to the top and is skimmed off. Then throw jt 
into a tub to cool, and when cold ponr it over 
your beef or pork, to remain the usual time, say- 
four or five weeks. The meat must be well cov¬ 
ered with pickle, and should not be put down 
for at least two days after killing, during which 
time it should be slightly sprinkled with pow¬ 
dered saltpetre, which removes all the surface 
blood, Ac., leaving the meat fresh and clean. 
Some omit boiling the pickle, and find it to 
answer well, though the operation 01 boiliug 
purities the pickle by throwing oil the dirt

If this recipe is properly tried, it will never 
be abandoned. There Is none that surpasses it,

Potted Meats. —lt sometimes happens to the 
ladies, from some unforseen circumstances, that 
large quantities of cooked meats, prepared fora

vinegar, wiue, brandy, cider and Worcestershire 
sauce, or melted batter, according to the kind 
of meat or to suit your own taste. Thou pack 
it tight into a stone jar, and cover with about a
